Oliver Francis (at Songbyrd)

Oliver Francis

At the beginning of 2017, self made underground legend Oliver Francis released perhaps his most well known and tantalizing body of work. While the first official Oliver Francis album Chlorine would go on to meet raving reviews and chatter from the guerrilla music purists to the mainstream players of hip-hop, Francis was only beginning his takeover of the music industry.

“I can’t remember when it started, it seems like it’s all I’ve ever known,” Francis explained when thinking back to a point in time where music became his desire in life. “It seems it’s been my dream since day one. I can’t really pinpoint like an exact moment, but you know there were always things that I would watch like Green Day and I always aspired to be like those guys (and) like my role models. I have a drawing that I did with crayons when I was… I don’t know how fucking old with a guy on stage with a guitar. It’s all I’ve ever known honestly.”
